@sm2017 try this:

const { Application, Agent } = require('egg');

const agent = new Agent(options);
await agent.ready();

const app = new Application(options);
await app.ready();

app.agent = agent;
agent.application = app;

that is the mini init work at egg-cluster or egg-mock

but you need to start HTTP server yourself and handler gracefull exit.

we will provide a createInstance to do this at egg 3.0 later this year.

@atian25 I must enable all plugins too
How you pass single mode in options?

Also I don't need Agent must I create an instance of agent?

@atian25 I run your code in a fresh installed simple mode eggjs

const { Application } = require('egg');
const app = new Application(options);
await app.ready();

but some plugin required Agent, so maybe you could disable the plugin.

since this way is more like a hacky, so I can't promise everything will work fine.
